From Authors' Introduction
We are a married couple with autism/Asperger's Syndrome. That unique fact is the main reason Future Horizons asked us to write this book. The President explained that we could offer an entirely different view of the sexual world because of our experiences and place in life now. It is true that we have not only seen the abuse, rejection and confusion endured by those on the spectrum, we have lived it.Reprinted with permission from the May-June 2002 issue of the Autism Asperger’s Digest, a 52 page bimonthly magazine devoted to autism.

Individuals on the Autism Spectrum are sexual beings. However, individual interest in sex or in developing an intimate sexual relationship with another person varies widely across (and within) individuals at all ability levels.In this webinar, Peter F. Gerhardt, Ed.D, will provide a brief overview of issues associated with sexuality education and the role behavior analysis can play in this complex and important area.
